Face a horde of deadly enemies, each one emerging from a world in which evil has already triumphed.

Travel through a scarred landscape with dozens of atmospheric levels, draw power from the Earth, and struggle for the soul of the world itself. Test your skills against a host of foes in unique solitaire-style turn-based combat!


  • Innovative, strategic, turn-based combat.
  • Blast the Enemy's monstrous lieutenants with a satisfying range of spells and abilities.
  • Gather powers from the shattered landscape to heal your mind and enhance your magic.
  • Choose your own path through a dark, folkloric story.
  • Three difficulty settings ranging from relaxed to nightmare.

Decent casual card game with a fun twist

A clever idea to spice up what seems to be a popular variant of solitaire often found online (sometimes called "Golf" solitaire, I think). Traverse maps with your "hero" and alternate between clearing boards and "doing battle", where building combos and paying attention to the "suit" (color) of cleared cards can make all the difference. Over time, you'll gain "power", collect wildcards. "buy" stronger actiion cards, and other power ups, for a little bit of RPG-like flavor. Don't expect a full-blown RPG experience -- there's a small amount of (skippable) story narrative, but no role-playing involved -- but the character/deck-building aspect is satisfying enough. Not especially difficult once you get the hang of it, but a novel twist on the genre, and fun enough to fill a bit of time with. And unlike the many "free" online variants of this sort of solitaire game you tend to find littering the internet, there are NO IN-APP PURCHASES. Meaning it's a fairly balanced game from start to finish.

Not terrible, but not great either.

There's nothing wrong with this game. It's just kind of middling. The card mechanics are fine but there's no complexity. The story is serviceable but incredibly barebones. Just a guy with text in front of a static, too-often-repeating backdrop that hurts the overall presentation. There are also little things, like reaction images being identical regardless of whether you're blocking or taking damage. If I blocked that attack, why does he look exactly as if I didn't block it at all? They really couldn't be bothered to include one additional image? I played it for a few hours then put it away forever. Only get this if you really like card games. It's beyond casual, overly simplistic and made on a low budget. Wait for a sale.
